It was August, and yellow leaves carpeted the ground beneath the Golden Moon.
Days had passed since Richard's last battle with Suo Men and Mu Konni from the Mysterious Organization. During this time, Richard had been repairing the internal injuries his body sustained, recuperating his physical condition, and researching various subjects in the main laboratory. Meanwhile, he suffered from a kind of "disturbance" he had never experienced before.
The disturbance did not come from Pandora, who abandoned sleep, but from...
The main laboratory, the research institute.
In the afternoon, the soft sunlight of autumn shone in, brightening the place.
Richard sat at the laboratory table, pondering the contents on the Papyrus Scroll, while subconsciously tapping rhythmically on the tabletop.
"Tap, tap tap tap tap, tap, tap tap tap tap..."
The melody echoing in Richard's mind these past days was produced by his tapping sounds, commonly known as an earworm.
